Elizabeth Flanagan Bellamy 1794-1875

On March 14, 1791 Whittle was appointed Surveyor of the road from the river to the county line. He also served on the grand jury beginning May 3, 1800. In the Gilmer Papers, 1672-1865, Virginia Historical Society Library, is a record of Whittle Flannagan taking the Oath of Allegiance to the Commonwealth of Virginia about 1779. This oath was subscribed to at the time by 217 persons. Military records show that he was with the Cocke's detachment during the War of 1812. John Hartwell Cocke was commissioned as a brigadier general in command of the Virginia militia based out of Camp Carter and Camp Holly. His brigade was composed of companies of troops from Fluvanna County from 1812 to 1813, Cocke led the defense of Richmond, Virginia along the Chickahominy River against British forces.

Whittle and his family lived in the family home called "Red Hill" and there is some conjecture that he built the house and not his father James Flanagan. The home was passed down to Whittle and Judith's youngest daughter, Elizabeth and in 1873 to her daughter Julia. Julia deeded it to her daughter Ida in 1911, and in 1964, Ida deeded it to her children Ruby and Graham. In 1986, Ruby and her niece Sarah Amick and her husband J.R. Amick were living at Red Hill.
